Chapter 14: The Long Night Lady's Salon!
Hear Arthur's words.
Although he was deceived by Dokule, Vontel did not hesitate at this time, directly took out his wallet and began to take out money.
Arthur was surprised when the two golden tickets with a denomination of 10 were placed on the desk in the psychic hall, he had guessed that Vontel was from a wealthy family, but he did not expect to be so rich.
Without blinking, he took out 20 golden tickets, and it seemed that the other party was really scared. ’
And he was richer than he thought. ’
That's right, only this kind of rich person will not have to run for life, will be full of romantic fantasies, and will be lured by Dokule. ’
'What about you?' ’
Arthur thought to himself, and his eyes turned to Wiggins.
In fact, Arthur cares more about Wiggins than Vontel, who can be seen to be rich at a glance.
The Dokule people are bad, but not stupid.
Naturally, the choice of Fontel and Wiggins had its own purpose: to let things ferment quickly, leaving him with no room to turn around.
And Vontel and Wiggins were able to make things ferment quickly, proving that the two have considerable influence in their respective classes.
Needless to say, Fontel has a lot of money.
Wiggins is different.
Judging from the way he dressed, Wiggins was a civilian, a poor one, but his fingers were quite clean, especially his nails were extremely neatly trimmed, not at all like those who suffered, but like a middle-class hand.
And, more importantly, the other party is also in contact with Dokule.
You must know that people like Dokule will never have contact or friendship with a real commoner, unless the other person is extremely valuable.
Connecting with the profession of the reporter Dokule, Wiggins's action of lowering the brim of his hat when he saw the police, and the fact that Wiggins is still 'humble' and 'silent' at this moment, the identity of the other party was finally confirmed by Arthur.
Goldfinger (thief)!
Only the goldfinger that wanders the streets is in line with Wiggins's current appearance, and it will also make Dokule, as a journalist, take the initiative to contact.
As for the gang members?
It is absolutely impossible to be 'silent' as it is now, at least some simple words such as 'who am I'm who' and 'who my boss is' can still be said.
Moreover, there is a high probability that Dokule will not dare to provoke gang members, the other party needs someone to deal with some unnecessary trouble, and there is also some news.
It's enough for the golden hand to point out, but really want to let the gang members take action?
That is, the small troubles are dealt with, and the bigger ones are ushered in.
Thinking of this, Arthur's slightly narrowed eyes became brighter and brighter.
Maybe Wiggins, who was born in Goldfinger, can't handle much trouble, but when it comes to small troubles, that's handy, at least in South Los is more useful than finding the police.
And the Goldfingers are definitely the most well-informed in South Los Es.
These are the most appropriate for Dokule, who is a journalist.
Of course, for Arthur, the 'medium', it is also needed.
Especially the message!
A good medium must have a reliable source. ’
Old Charlie's words, Arthur thought they made quite sense.
Therefore, Arthur looked at Wiggins with a little more expectation.
And Wiggins, who was standing on the side, was directly stunned after seeing Vontel take out two golden tickets.
He couldn't make up 10 golden tickets with all his net worth.
Although he is a 'golden finger' and can make a profit every time he goes to the Docklands shopping street, most of the money must be given to the police and local gang members in the form of 'protection money', otherwise he will have to disappear into the streets of South Los in three days.
Now that Fontel has given 20 golden tickets, what will he do?
At this time, Arthur cast his gaze, and the inexplicable meaning in his eyes made Wiggins' scalp tingle - the scene just now scared the young 'Goldfinger'.
It's not just Arthur's curse killing, but also the posture of taking out a firearm and shooting directly when facing Sergeant Lauke.
The former is too novel and weird for Wiggins to evaluate accurately, but the latter Wiggins is qualified.
He'd seen people like that.
There are such characters in the gangs on the docks and on the streets.
Not much, just one or two.
But it is such one or two people who are the key to those gangs gaining a foothold, and every time it comes to the life and death of the gang, it is these people who take action.
It was exactly the same as Arthur's.
When Wiggins first became the 'Golden Finger', he had seen the 'Blood Dog Gang' in the docks being invaded by outsiders, and most of them were scattered, the one in the 'Blood Dog Gang' made a move, killing four outsiders by himself, especially the entire head of the foreign leader was cut off.
At that time, that person's gaze was the same as Arthur's now.
'I'm not going to have my head cut off, is I?' ’
Wiggins' legs trembled, but his brain was spinning faster and faster.
Some people only get confused when they encounter danger, but some people's brains work beyond the ordinary, and Wiggins is such a person.
At the beginning, Wiggins was also confused in the moment of danger.
But he was lucky that he survived that time.
After that, when he encountered danger again, Wiggins definitely didn't let his mind get confused.
Because, he wants to live.
It's like this moment.
When cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Wiggins' first thought was to 'sell himself'.
A 'golden finger' like him who was born on the street is the most valuable to himself.
And there are quite a few guys who are more than happy to do it.
But Wiggins was a little reluctant, he didn't really yearn for more unrestrainedness, but felt that if he sold himself like this, it was a bit cheap, and he was really unwilling.
Suddenly, Wiggins had a flash of inspiration, and something came to Wiggins.
Immediately, the 'golden finger' from the street learned from those decent people to take off his hat and put it on his chest, bowed slightly, and said, "I can tell you a secret." ”
Wiggins didn't say what the secret was, just swept his gaze to Vontel and Scott.
Scottra walked out with a curious look on his face, and closed the door as he walked out of the psychic hall.
Immediately, Arthur and Wiggins were left in the psychic hall.
Without hesitation, Wiggins immediately spoke.
"Lord Credos, have you ever heard of the 'Lady of the Long Night'?"
Lady of the Long Night?
Arthur frowned and began to flip through the memories of his predecessor again.
Soon, he found the answer he was looking for.
The Lady of the Long Night is quite famous among the small crowd of people in South Los.
It was this lady who held her first salon in South Los – the salon first became popular in the inner bay, at first for the pleasure of the aristocracy, but with the addition of scholars, painters, and writers there was more like-mindedness, but with the addition of pioneers, merchants, and speculators, the salon gradually became vanity fair.
And this lady of the long night seized the opportunity and held the first salon directly in South Los Angeles.
Although there are many followers, there is no way to touch the 'Long Night Lady's Salon', because the salon is only the first half, and the auction in the second half is the main event.
The lady was quite clever enough to control the most core non-replicable parts.
As a result, quite a few people of South Los are proud to be able to participate in the 'Salon of the Long Night Lady'.
In fact, it is believed that the real upper class will definitely be able to participate in the 'salon of the ladies of the long night'.
The predecessor was after hearing this from old Charlie, and he was quite yearning for these - he thought that it would become the stage for him to become famous.
'Malinda. Julius. Caesar? ’
Wiggins has said it to this extent, and Arthur naturally knows who the other party is allusingly referring to.
Then, there was a sigh of admiration.
'It's amazing! ’
He was well aware of how difficult it was for a lady to do this in the traditional and conservative city of South Los Centrum.
At the same time, how amazing the other party's ability is.
Of course, the level of danger is also skyrocketing.
'You have to be more careful!' ’
Arthur warned himself.
Women have always been troublesome.
And capable women?
That's the big trouble.
But that's after that, now?
Arthur's face sank deliberately.
"Wiggins, are you kidding me?"
Arthur asked directly, his voice still steady and indifferent, but there was a coldness in his eyes.
Skill [Intimidation] starts flashing.
It's not that he turned his face and didn't recognize people after getting the news, Arthur was not so bottomless, but because Wiggins was playing tricks.
You must know that when the lady left just now, in addition to putting down the 10 golden tickets, she also deliberately asked the coachman to send a real thank you gift after a while.
What will that gift be?
Most likely, it is an invitation to the salon.
By that time, Malinda. Julius. Caesar's identity is naturally impossible to hide.
And Wiggins's desire to use this kind of benefit to escape compensation is unbearable for Arthur - because, if he really agrees, I am afraid that Wiggins will not be rewarded with any gratitude, but will be treated as a fool by Wiggins.
It's the calculation and philistine that Wiggins, who was born on the street, is imprinted in his bones.
Even if you are shrouded in fear, it will not change.
It is only at the moment of death that it is too late to regret it.
Why is Arthur so clear?
Because, he had seen too many people like him before.
Even if these people are a little darker than Goldfinger', the essence of their street origins has not changed.
Wiggins, who was shocked by Arthur's revelation of the little trick, looked at Arthur's threatening gaze, and immediately sweated, this street-born 'Goldfinger' really felt the breath of death.
Without any hesitation, he immediately said loudly-
"I am willing to be your subordinate, to be your eyes and ears, to find out the news for you, to be your dagger in the dark, to solve unnecessary troubles for you!"
